Megaupload dot com boasts the title of the worlds largest file sharing website, with just under 4% of the total traffic on the internet, coming to Megaupload at least once. Today the giant was shut down by the FBI on multiple charges of fraud, money laundering, breach of copyright offenses in the United States and Racketeering.

Seven people have been arrested so far including the company’s founder, 37-year-old Kim Schmitz, 38-year-old Finn Batato from Germany, 35-year-old Julius Bencko from Slovakia, 39-year-old Sven Echternach from Germany, 40-year-old Mathias Ortmann from Germany, 32-year-old Andrus Nomm from Estonia and 29-year-old Bram van der Kolk from the Netherlands.

Has the FBI lost their minds? Megaupload is endorsed by Celebrities all over the world. If they cannot shutdown The Pirate Bay , why would they go after Megaupload? Hackers are already launching attacks against key authority figures outlining this case. So far, authorities have managed to loot more than 6 million dollars in cars and 10 million in cash from Kim Schmitz alone.

The FBI is calling this an “international organised criminal enterprise”. Are these agents smoking crack in their hash pipes or something? I mean honestly, did someone just get a promotion in the cyber crime division and need a nice show to put on for some higher ups I am sure that Kim Schmitz is no squeeky angel, but lets consider the source of who is pointing the finger here. Where does the US government get off globetrotting around the world acting as if we are the world police.

This will only be the tip of the iceberg on this case. With the heightened awareness regarding SOPA now, I hope people will not stand by and allow this to take place. Name one person that you know in the past 2 years, who has actually gone to the store and bought a CD? Well its the same with Megaupload, people are going to naturally go with the flow of things, and when you have a file sharing company endorsed by celebrities like Kanye West and Alicia Keys, your going to get some backlash from this decision. The Arrests were made in New Zealand, by New Zealand authorities, under provisional arrest warrants from the US FBI offices.

We will be following this closely and updating you as info comes in on this parade. *FREE MEGAUPLOAD*

Is Scotland leaving the United Kingdom? Latest news reports from insiders is certainly suggesting that Scotland could very well be pulling out of its 300 year agreement with the UK. Scotland is requesting a referendum  Could this be the start of a chain of events where nations start to truly regain their sovereignty?

 Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond wants the first talks to be held in 2014, yet London says that Scotland does not have the right to claim such independence. How could anyone blame them for wanting to back out after the collapse of their entire financial system? Mostly due impart of the toxic loans imposed on them by such institutions from the merger of everyone into the European union including the UK. It is hard to frame things into categories when dealing with the European Union in general. So many imputable by-laws exist due to all of the countries banning together. Have we really allowed this to get so out of hand that governments such as Scotland have been demoted down to mere shadows of themselves?

    Whether or not Scotland chooses to leave the UK is still undecided at this point. But as we all know, the Scottish are going to do as they please. Whether or not London or the entire UK thinks Scotland should leave the UK is irrelevant, they will do it one way or another if they feel it is justified. I hope that every free thinking nation in this world would support that decision as well.

Scotland kept its own legal system after the 1707 union, therefore its going to do whatever in the hell it once, whilst having a drink at the same time! No one can argue that if scotland were to gain independence that it could prosper as a small nation. Governments and corporations get to not pay their debts all the time, why should Scotland be any different if they were literally shang hai’ed into toxic loans my the IMF and other financial interests?

 

Transcript of Silent Movie Star Charlie Chaplin’s ending speech from The Great Dictator I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible; Jew, Gentile, black man, white & all other races. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

          Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.

We think too much and feel too little.

More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fire! Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men – machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! Regardless if you subscribe to the bible, In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power. Let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.

By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfill their promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

The clouds are lifting! The sun is breaking through! We are coming out of the darkness into the light! We are coming into a new world; a kindlier world, where men will rise above their hate, their greed, and brutality.

The soul of man has been given wings and at last he is beginning to fly.

          Organizers within the Occupy San Francisco movement have decided to start a bank! Yes, you read that correctly, let it sink in and take root in your neural nets. The anti-bank / anti-capitalism Occupy movement is treading the path of a most unfortunate series of events. I seriously doubt that the protestors realize how much of a double edged sword this Occupy Bank concept is. We have to look at the founding of all of these other banks and institutions in which have been allowed to grow around us like a cancer, while we provide the sustenance. Almost every bank that is dominating the American Banking Cartel , namely Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo & Citigroup, was founded on principles which are roughly parallel with those of the occupy movement.

       “Nothing golden ever stays” is a very appropriate quote from the classic Outsiders, which I am sure almost everyone read in high school.  Its appropriate because the amount of truth in the statement relative to the current ideals and contradictions of the Occupy Movement. Even though Occupy San Francisco is saying the bank will be non-profit, we all know what ‘non-profit’ means.  It means less oversight and more opportunity for snakes to get in the back door. They are not address the fundamental issues of the movement, the overall goals of the people coupled with their psychological health. As Fred Hampton used to say, Education is VERY important. Watch this video below of Fred Hampton in a meeting with some pro-revolutionary investors who want to start a non-profit credit union and expand on the other programs the Panthers were hosting such as Free Breakfast for Children Program & the free health clinic. The striking similarity to then and now, is almost to much to handle.

Notice how he brings up how important Education is right after the proposal is addressed about the bank, or as the investor says ‘credit union’. Its like saying republicans and democrats, they have different options and gadgets but they are still playing for the same owner. I fear that without a due process of Re-education , that we are going to see the very worst of what Fred warned about.  People ALWAYS start off with good intentions, as they psychologists have been saying for years, “no one intentionally joins a cult to commit suicide, it is normally that a person joins a new age movement, spiritual movement, radically different ideas, etc”  Luckily I was able to find a pretty unique grassroots movement which appears to have these very same ideals, Occupy Humanity.

I found these guys ironically enough via a Facebook group invite, after reading their ‘about us’ section on the group page I was intrigued to check it out further. They just put up a website, which i assume is not finished yet as they are not promoting it.  However if there was any movement to look look into , which is concerned soley with educational issues and fundamental principles of revolutionary struggles, then it would be Occupy Humanity.

Keep an eye on this developing Occupy Bank situation, this could be the start of something wonderful for all Americans or will be the dawn of just another form of control.  Only time will tell how this shapes up, I wish to remain an optimist none the less , I hope it does work , employs educated people to run it (i dont mean college degrees either) and is on something like a volunteer basis only.  Meaning that it will bet he first LITERAL non-profit ‘credit union’ run for the people and by the people.

 

 

The time has finally come, #OccupyWallstreet is supposedly coming to an end tmrw.  Watch live on Tacit-inc to see the latest updates live via Livestream.

I am getting tired of watching these you tube videos where people are simply using group speak and repeating something that the speaker says over and over.  I bet if you went around asking 100 different people what they think the outcome should be to this, you would get 100 different answers.  What ever happened to non objective speakers who actually had the goal at heart, and not their personal views?? This is going the complete opposite way that it needs to.  Have people not read their history books about revolution? Or studied the recent revolutions across the world?

Lets take Egypt for example. Do you think all those people did to over throw their government was just stand on the streets and sing songs and do livestream feeds? NO! They had political discourse, they contacted the army, they spread their VIEWS to EVERYONE , they didnt rely on people in red shirts and red barrets to dictate the message for them, they did it collectively.

The #OccupyWallStreet movement is a gross misrepresentation, and a very good example of how un educated people really are.  Its a shame that what my eighth grade teacher’s words have come correct in such a big way “You have to know your history , or else you are doomed to repeat it.”

#OccupyWallstreet needs some real people pulling the strings for the organization.  Not this adbusters corporatation with loose ties to America.  What is wrong with picture, Adbusters is hosting the Occupywallstreet.org domain, yet they are a company registered in Toronto???? So we have a Canadian entity, which is really a magazine which generates PROFIT from this, controling the innerworkings of the movement itself, all from a nice office in downtown Toronto.  Its sickening.  This is not revolution, this is not change, this is not #Occupywallstreet

 

 

            

             A ton of U.S. army drones have been infected with the most sophisticated keylogger to date.  It simply is registering and recording every single action taken by the pilot.  Its not hard to see where this could be used against us.  I know in the era of after 9-11 , people are hypersensitive about “terrorist attacks”.  In order to fully remove the logger / trojan hybrid, military programmers will have to do a complete re format of the HD’s of all the infected CPU’s.

It is imperative that they get this keylogger off, because only lord knows when or how it will be used against us in war / propaganda.  The virus is currently unable to be taken off the network with out a complete system restore… which I am sure is all but impossible at this point, as big as the data would be.

The army is claiming that this whole thing is being blown way out of proportion.  However I do not wish to see them parade around lying to everyone, just because they are embarrassed. The army covered it up for as long as they could, roughly 2 weeks before the story broke.  They have been playing the damage control card ever since.  I think it is hilarious that they would try to cover it up.

The pilots have reported not to even notice the difference in in flying before and after the virus.  The keylogger is not affecting anything really, other than the big mystery.  Why is it logging the keys, and where is the info going?  This is just proof to show how vulnverable the infrastructure really is.  I fear that this is only the beginning of a much larger attack.  I honestly doubt it was done by accident, keyloggers are not common place on 9/10 people computers.

 

Yingluck Shinawatra’s very own Twitter account was hacked yesterday in what officials said was possibly part of a conspiracy to embarrass the Thailand Prime Minister an the government of Thailand.
. The downright funny tweets accused her of cronyism and miscellaneous failures. The final post read: “If she can’t even protect her own Twitter account, how can she protect the country?”

Authorities promise to prosecute the guilty hackers involved. Information and Communication Technology Minister Anudith Nakornthap said an investigation found the hacker used a prepaid phone card and an iPhone to access the accounts (GENIOUS!!!). He denied a report that an arrest was imminent, but said details from the investigation would be announced today.Ms. Yingluck won a clear victory in July, but is accused by her critics of being a puppet of her brother, former Premier Thaksin Shinawatra who was thrown out of office in a 2006 military coup.

“This country is a business. We work for our allies, not for the Thai people. We work for those who support us, not those who differ with us,” another read.

 

Are you fucking kidding me? Is that what this whole thing is boiling down to… the government making front page news out of Brittany Spears new video being shot in East London showing people being robbed… Wow.

The police are saying that they are shocked that the video’s contents includes that of Her brandishing a pistol and robbing stores… Come on people.  Seriously?  That is what this ‘revolution’ boiled down to… The cops being butt-hurt over an American’s music video mocking their riots?? Which no one can even argue that is what she was doing.  Its absolutely amazing to me that after all the news play that London was Burning and London was Falling, etc. etc., this is what it boiled down too.

Im not going to plug the videos name or anything like that, I fucking hate that chick.  Her music is garbage and people infatuation with her is outright disgusting.  The point I am trying to make is that people need to wake up and smell the roses.  If all that is being said about the recent events in London, i that Brittany made a music video making fun of it… and stuffing the real issues, then you can see who won that one…

The fact that this is what a small social revolution has boiled down to makes my heart hurt.  SDS is reaching out to try and incite the imagination of these people to rise up again! Don’t let the media turn revolution into a passive mediocrity! It is your complacency that allows this to continue… I’ll see you on the streets…

       This very unique documentary has an astonishing first hand look within the Buddhist Hermits which are still living in the Mountains along mainland China.  I have known about this documentary for a few years, but figured I would share it with everyone who maybe hasn’t seen or heard of it yet.  The only thing that sucks is that its in subtitles, but honestly the quality of the content / discussions with these Buddhist masters living in solitude , is priceless.  I didn’t know China even allowed Buddhist monks to still live and practice freely in the mountains.  They recently almost took Tibet off the face of the earth by destroying over 6000 ancient monasteries and villages in Tibet, over a land confrontation.  In reality it was just the Chinese way of responding to Tibet declaring that it was a Soverign nation, and that it had already gained its independence years ago, therefor did not have to obey the chinese.

       In an unimaginable display of solidarity , almost every single monk remained non violent during these insanely brutal raids on their places of worship and their homes.  Only now , after 10 – 20 years of oppression, have the monk’s and tibetan people began to rise up violently.  Which i can completely understand.  I can only imagine what it would feel like to be kicked out of your own country, told not to speak your own language, and that you can no longer be a Buddhist.

If you are looking for more info on this , look into the FREE TIBET campaigns taking place all over the world.  The situation is much worse than any of the major newscasters make it out to be.  They really need the entire worlds support.  These people are praying for the happiness of all sentient beings, high up in the mountains…. What possible threat could they have posed to china to make them do what they did?

If anyone can find videos on the raids of the monasteries themselves, please email me and let me know, so I can post them here.  But so far the Chinese government has done a pretty good job of scrubbing all videos offline so that only their version of events / videos are played.

Sorry for getting side tracked but it is an important issue i feel very strongly about.  Anyways, about the documentary… American director Edward A Burger is a student to a Buddhist master living in the Mountains in China.  This is his incredible journey to interview these masters for the first time.  What you see / hear , is truly inspiring on so many different levels.  It really helps you put things into perspective if you think you have it bad, or your having a bad day.  This documentary has won over 20 international film awards for best documentary , breakthrough documentary, most original documentary, etc. etc.

An extended interview with Julian Assange recorded during filming of John Pilger’s latest film “The war you don’t see”

The attacks on WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, are a response to an information revolution that threatens old power orders, in politics and journalism.

The incitement to murder trumpeted by public figures in the United States, together with attempts by the Obama administration to corrupt the law and send Assange to a hell hole prison for the rest of his life, are the reactions of a rapacious system exposed as never before.

The US Justice Department has established a secret grand jury just across the river from Washington in the eastern district of the state of Virginia. The object is to indict Julian Assange under a discredited espionage act used to arrest peace activists during the first world war, or one of the war on terror conspiracy statutes that have degraded American justice.

Judicial experts describe the jury as a deliberate set up, pointing out that this corner of Virginia is home to the employees and families of the Pentagon, CIA, Department of Homeland Security and other pillars of American power.
